Creating a Software Container

To deliver a software package, you must create a job container that contains a delivery job for the package. The first step is to create an empty job container.

Example 9: Creating an Empty Software Job Container

//This method creates an empty software job container
private int createContainer() throws Exception
{
	CreateSoftwareJobContainerProperties props =
	new CreateSoftwareJobContainerProperties();
	props.setComment(cfg.getContainerComment());
	props.setCommentSupplied(true);
	props.setName(cfg.getContainerName());
	props.setNameSupplied(true);
	//set the container property mask elements
	SoftwareJobContainerPropertyMask mask =
	new SoftwareJobContainerPropertyMask();
	mask.setBuildOnly(false);
	mask.setCascade(true);
	mask.setLinkageBatch(true);
	mask.setLinkageNone(false);
	mask.setLinkageSequence(false);
	mask.setRenewed(true);
	mask.setRollback(true);
	props.setSoftwareJobContainerPropertyMask(mask);
	props.setSoftwareJobContainerPropertyMaskSupplied(true);
	containerId=wsAPIconnector.createSoftwareJobContainer(getSessionId(),props);
	if(containerId.equals(""))
	return UDSMWebService.CONTAINER_CREATION_ERROR;
	return UDSMWebService.RESULT_OK;
